The aim of this trip report was to compare Lufthansa and Swiss.
At the beginning of the report I mentioned in terms of how close the two airlines are. However having written this trip report I can safety say that Swiss comes out top. However let's go through the winners of each category:
Lounge: Swiss First Class Lounge. Yes the LH FCT is good however it lost a lot of points due to the position and view which I find important. All other aspects of the lounge were on par if not better than the Swiss Lounge. Also the fact that the rule of entry to the FCT is not clear also brought down the amount of points received.
Hard Product (on-board): Swiss First Class - Bigger Screens, more comfortable seats. This is in the old Swiss Class cabin as well. Also the IFE was more extensive
Soft Product (on-board): Swiss First Class - This for me is where Swiss excelled, the food and drink on board was really of a very high standard and not even comparable to Lufthansa.
So even though initially I wrote that these two airlines are very close, you can see that there is actually really only one winner. Has anyone else flown both airlines and agree with the above? I am interested to hear what other people think....
